Because the drama is quintessentially just a rom-com, a very feel good funny destined lovers rom-com, people who have written the negative reviews have several reasons but most of them are:

1. they were looking for a deeper meaning
2. they wanted more backstory for the villain
3. they found the FL to be annoying
4. they think that a different drama that is their fav deserves a higher rating and LR that is "just" a rom-com shouldn't have this high of a rating.
5. they wanted more explanations for the time-travel rather than just accepting it as is

these are the majority of the reasons for the negativity in the reviews, but the ratings are from people who watched, loved it and rated it high and left, cuz most people don't bother to write reviews.

"Don't know why you are fighting a 30 yr old looking his age so much but ok"

Because I genuinely can't see it, I'm not a fan of his nor have I seen him in anything besides this drama, so I don't fell the need to defend him at all🤷‍♂️ but out of the entire cast he was the only one I actually thought could pass for a high school student, so it's baffling for me how you think otherwise

Yeah, I'm not too sure, I'm gonna put it on my list and see what rating it gets by the time it finishes cuz I don't watch ongoing dramas, and by then I'll make a decision.

yeah the mom didn't force him to study but she didn't really do anything else either, except that I think she banned him from seeing his uncle so maybe stopping his growth🤷‍♂️ and that's something that resonates with me a lot, my parents were quite apathetic towards me and never encouraged me to do anything and as long as I wasn't in trouble or hanging with bad people that was alright with them which made me not pursue anything and don't have any dreams.

not really a fan of Business genre but a huge fan of LJH, what to do?🤔🤔

I never thought I'll see the words "refunded children" in my life but here we are🤣🤣

I wasn't a huge fan of how the drama undermines natural talent and tried to force the message that only studying is good, and it's the only way to salvation. MC for example has a natural talent in fighting and sport in general, yet no one from a young age tried to push him in that direction and was just: "study, study, study"

It's the same in Mob Psycho, Mob's natural talents are pushed aside and painted as bizarre and wrong and it tries to say that if Mob uses his powers to get ahead in life it's unfair but if a person that is talented in sports uses their superior physique and genetic to get ahead it's fine.

I actually haven't thought about it from this angle, but you're 100% right, it is quite dystopic

he looks 20 at the most, I have no idea what you're talking about

they actually said that line in the drama🤣🤣

He is so fucking good, I don't get why he isn't in more dramas.

Just finished it and was quite disappointed, I had heard a lot of good things and the rating was high too, but it wasn't entertaining at all, it was basically a very rushed introduction to the family and a couple of days in their life, that's it, nothing really "happened"
without a season 2 this is a very mediocre 5/10 and half of that is for Bae Doo Na

what last person? Kim Hyeon Min?

That depends on the drama and the story though, for example Love Next Door defiantly shouldn't have been this long and it got draggy fast, they ran out of stuff quick and had to resort to a tedious, annoying and boring love triangle to fill the run-time, but that was completely unnecessary, they should have focused on the couple and tried to establish some tension and attraction between them in order to get the chemistry going but even though they had the time they chose to focus on other stuff and the couple's relationship felt quite abrupt and sudden.

I'm rewatching right now and I'm reminded again how much I hated the unnecessary love triangle in this one, this is what the fast-forward button was invented for, I skip all of the SML's scenes and the drama jumps for me from a solid 6/10 to a 8/10 immediately.

Completely agree with your rating, the rest of the episodes are gonna bring up your overall to a 7/10 and that's about how much this drama deserves.

most of these were explained in the show, some outright and some in much more subtle ways, I'm not really in the mood to write a whole essay but if you search in the comments, me and others have answered a lot of these things.

what did you want to be explained more?(genuinely curious) I actually thought that compared to a lot of other shows that always keep it vague, in light shop they were quite upfront about it

Yeah the time frame is insane, I've got a shit memory and daily consume a lot of dramas, movies, games, fanfiction and more, so by the time season 2 airs you can be damn sure I won't even remember what the plot of this was.

There is but it's not the main focus of it, SPOILER below:::::


The romance is between two of the couples and it's very sad but also very touching and heartwarming, I was crying so hard😭😭😭

So if you're not looking for something very heavy right now, I suggest watching it later, maybe after a tooth-rottingly sweet rom-com like LMLMV.
